Buddy Cole 0 Posted February 13, 2010 Hello all - Just started my journey towards insurance approval. I know my United Health Care policy has ANY form of weight loss help (surgery, medication, diets, even counseling) excluded. So my doctor's office is going to take it through the process and see what will happens. Wish me well. I've gotten a lot of information and inspiration from this site. Looking forward to being able to say " I've been approved!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to being able to say " I've been approved!" Do you have any complications of being overweight? Diabetes, high blood pressure, high colesterol?? If you get a denial from your insurance, appeal it and make sure they have all the facts about your health. You can go as high as the state insurance board..so don't give up. Any thing good is worth the fight!!:smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
